It’s the season of harvesting wheat again.

It’s wheat harvest season. I saw on TV that in the fields in the north, harvesters were busy working in the wheat fields. Looking at the smiling faces of the farmers full of harvest joy, it reminded me of those who harvested wheat in my hometown when I was a child. past. In June and July in my hometown, the scorching sunshine at noon bakes the earth, the golden ears of wheat in the wheat fields undulate with the wind and make a heavenly sound, the clear chirping of grasshoppers is endless, and groups of sparrows shuttle in the wheat fields. Looking at the undulating golden colors like flowing clouds and flowing water, you will definitely feel the joy and satisfaction buried deep in the hearts of farmers. I still remember clearly that I was only 13 years old when I first learned to cut wheat. As a child, working in the fields was just out of curiosity. In fact, my family did not expect me to harvest much wheat. They just wanted their children to try going to the fields to know how difficult it is to harvest a good harvest. While demonstrating, my mother explained the essentials of the action: "Hold the sickle in your right hand, grab the wheat behind your left hand, and cut it one by one." At first, my hands and footsteps were not coordinated, and I seemed a bit in a hurry. Not only was the speed slow, but the wheat was also I also sprinkled most of it. The most difficult thing was to tie up the cut wheat and stand it one by one in the ground. After I tied it hard, the wheat fell apart as soon as it stood on the ground. It took me many attempts to tie the wheat up. By the time I basically mastered the essentials of the movements, I already started to have backache, sweating profusely, out of breath, and blood blisters on my hands... At that time, in fact, not all farmers were old. Wheat is grown in large areas and is only used as a non-staple food, so it is difficult to eat in normal times. It is usually reserved on the first day of the new year to make some dumplings or make flour. When I was in elementary school, the teacher once asked us to write an essay about our ideals. I wrote "A Bowl of Noodles", and I said that my ideal is to eat noodles made from home-grown wheat. The Chinese teacher read my composition in class, and the students all laughed. Because the ideals of my classmates were either to be scientists or to be members of the People's Liberation Army, I was ashamed of this. However, the teacher praised me and said that my composition was very good, very simple, and very real. Food is the most important thing for the people! In addition to being used as flour, wheat can also be used to make maltose. The selection of ingredients for making maltose is very important. You must choose good malt, glutinous rice and polished rice. In the production process, "sugar pulling" is a crucial process, and of course heat, strength and time are also indispensable. In the past, in the countryside, we often saw craftsmen who made maltose. They pushed old bicycles through the streets and alleys, banging them all the way while shouting "Maltose... maltose..." "The sound echoed leisurely in the deep alley. After a while, people followed the sound from all directions, using toothpaste casings, old slippers and other items in exchange for some maltose to bring back to satisfy their children's cravings... Can't hear it in the city. When the cuckoos are chirping, naturally there are no large wheat fields in sight, so I gradually forget about the past events about wheat. But occasionally I still think of the farmers holding the wheat and swinging the sickle, sweating with the wheat on their backs, and of the fellow villagers who have endured all kinds of hardships.
